Relaxed hair journey 💋

I was natural for 11 years before I decided to relax my hair. I found myself turning into a straight natural as I didn’t care to wear my curly hair. I didn’t see the point of being natural anymore and when I was relaxed in the past I had healthy relaxed hair.

I also have scalp psoriasis so trying to find actual natural hair products became expensive.

I’ve been relaxed since August 2023. I no longer have a battle with my psoriasis. I wash my hair weekly in #Olaplex products. I am excited to see how long I can grow my hair with a relaxer.

Disclaimer: I did not dye and relax my hair at the same appointment.

Is anyone thinking of transitioning to a relaxer? Or just recently transitioned? Let me know in the comments

... Read moreTransitioning to relaxed hair can be both exciting and challenging, especially for those who have been natural for years. Many individuals face similar dilemmas regarding their hair type, health, and maintenance routines. If you're considering relaxing your hair, understanding the effects on your hair's integrity and your scalp's health, especially with conditions like psoriasis, is crucial. With the right products, such as Olaplex, and a consistent care routine, it's possible to maintain hair health even after switching from natural to relaxed styles. It’s also important to remember that everyone's hair journey is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. In your transition, take the time to experiment with products and styling techniques that suit your hair's new texture. Engaging with communities online can also provide support and tips as you navigate your own hair journey, from managing scalp issues to maintaining vibrant hair color while relaxed. Share your experiences and connect with others who have made the same change to learn from their journeys too.

I permed my hair two years ago after being natural for years. I perm it once every three months. I feel like my hair growth is better than it was than when it was natural. #relaxedhaircare #relaxedhair #hair growth 😏

Some folks find washing their hair just twice a week a bit wild, but honestly, letting those natural oils do their thing is like giving your hair its own built-in moisturizer. Plus, it means you’re only hitting it with heat once or twice a week if you’re styling. That’s just my routine! I also like

Having a perm doesn’t mean your hair can’t thrive — it just needs the right care
✨ Why protective styles matter: ✔️ Reduce daily manipulation ✔️ Help retain length ✔️ Protect your ends (the weakest part!) ✔️ Keep your hair moisturized ✔️ Prevent breakage and thinning 💡 Best protective styles for permed hair: • Low buns (sleek & simple) • Braided or twisted updos

I stopped relaxing my hair a few years ago and let my curls grow. I have always relaxed my hair for as long as I can remember, so I have never known what kind of curls I had. It was DEFINITELY a journey, and it was filled with many ups and downs. In the end, although I enjoyed seeing my curly hair
